BXBX NOVEL Chapter 77 [Bonus ]Terrorism
While playing the game Chronicles of Aeris, you need to pay attention to the items you have looted from the ground.
Just because there is a loot sign doesn\'t mean it is always a helpful thing.
For instance, if the item you have looted has the name Unknown Egg, Green Rock, or Eggs of Cindersnake, then you need to leave the area and the item there immediately.
Because Cindersnake is a 5-star monster that has poison and tough scales to defend against physical attacks.
If you try to fight against it while you are low-leveled, then you are dead because you can\'t even damage it in the first place.
And that was the reason why I told Aliya to leave.
/BOOM/
"HELP! PLEASE HELP!"
First, a sound of an explosion and then the sound of screams started coming from the outside.
"We need to leave this place."
"Okay."
"Follow me."
Saying that, I started leading her outside.
"Where are the others?"
"Mister Wayne and Akira went to the market. Father should be in the city hall. But I don\'t know about the others."
"I see. Be careful; there might be lesser Cindersnakes there. We don\'t know."
"Understood."
<Monster in the vicinity detected.>
<Trait [Witcher] is activated.>
Feeling the strength of my body rising didn\'t feel good for the first time because the trait [Witcher] activated means the monster has already noticed us.
"Sigh.... I didn\'t even get used to my new strength."
Mumbling slowly, I immediately imbued my aura and lightning mana to my legs at the same time, grabbing Aliya from her buttocks and putting her over my shoulder.
"Wha-"
/SWOOSH/
And dashed outside.
/HISSSS/ /FUSHHHH/
And that proved to be the correct decision because the place we were staying melted in an instant.
"Hissss."
Turning my head for a second, I saw a snake.
A snake with a huge body reaches a height of 5 meters and a width of 0.5 meters.
With its slit eyes, it was looking around.
"You don\'t have any rocks with you, right?"
"Yes. I left them in there."
"Good. It won\'t attack us then."
/SWOOSH/
\'The city officials will reach there soon. There should be at least a 6-rank mage or knight here.\'
"Hisss." "Hisssss."
\'Two lesser Cindersnakes. Shouldn\'t waste too much time.\'
/CRACKLE/ /CRACKLE/
Condensing lighting mana around the tip of my finger, I aligned it with the eyes of the first one.
/BOLT/
And with a flash, a bolt of lightning reached the eye of the monster, burning it.
"CREEEK!"
/SWOOSH/
Then, without stopping for any other second, I opened the distance and kept running towards the city hall.
But, of course, that was not an easy task since I was carrying a person, and that was taking quite a toll on my body.
"Hufff.... Huffff.... Huff... We are here."
/THUD/
Putting down the girl on the ground, I started looking around.
The city was in a state of chaos. There were people screaming. Houses were being burned; people were getting eaten.
It was like a terrorist attack on Earth.
\'Wait, a terrorist attack? Don\'t tell me.\'
"What is happening?"
"This city is under attack."
"Under attack?"
"Yes. This is an organized attack."
"What?"
"There is no time to explain. Suppose I am wrong, then it is better. But, if I am right, then we are in a dire situation."
\'This event. I don\'t know if something like that happened in the game. But, this pattern is familiar.\'
"What should we do?"
"Hush."
"...."
\'All Seeing Eye.\'
With my eye activated, I started focusing on the mana around me.
\'Dark mana flowing through the roofs. And a huge one is coming from the place we left. As I expected, Cindersnake is being controlled by something.\'
\'Syndicate of doom. We have met again.\'
Thinking that, I grabbed the handle of my sword.
<Ding! A new quest [Executioner] is generated.>
"Where are you going?"
"You must contact your father. He will be looking for you."
"You? What are you going to do?"
"None of your business."
"Hey!"
Saying that, I gulped another magic potion and jumped to the roof to have a better angle of vision.
\'Now, let\'s kill some heretics.\'
\'System, show me the quest.\'
-----------------------------------
Quest â€" Executioner
As a petty brother and son, you can\'t forgive those who have targeted your family.
Kill the members of the Syndicate.
Rewards â€" Will be calculated according to the host\'s performance.
----------------------------------
\'As expected, it is related to the Dia- Wait, son? What does it mean by son?\'
\'I need to check this, something.... I am missing it right now.\'
\'But, this is not the right time.\'
/BOOM/ /BOOM/
\'I wasn\'t able to check my new strength, but my aura... It started getting a characteristic.\'
Putting the mask on my face, with my robe on, I started channeling my aura to my body.
<Trait [Lone Swordsman] is active.>
/SWOOSH/ /CRACK/
And dashed to the nearby black-robed man.
/CLANK/
Blocking my sword, he turned his head to me.
"Wh-"
/STAB/ /STAB/ /STAB/
But before he could say anything, I stabbed him three times, rapidly killing him instantly.
\'One two-star down. I need to be careful to avoid the executives.\'
/SWOOSH/
\'Another one.\'
/FLICK/
With a flick of my finger, I paralyzed the one before me for a second.
/SLASH/
And slashed his head with my sword, severing it.
/CLANK/
And blocked a kunai-typed dagger with my sword.
\'A Rogue Class? Where is he?\'
\'All Seeing Eye.\'
Looking around with my eyes activated, I started following the flow of mana.
\'There you are.\'
/CRACKLE/ /CRACKLE/
Condensing lightning particles around my body, I flashed a strike, sending a bolt toward the assassin hanging from a tree.
"AAAAH! /THUD/
With a scream, he fell to the ground.
/SWOOSH/ /STAB/
In an instant, appearing beside him, I killed the assassin.
"FUCK! KILL THIS BASTARD!"
Of course, there were others around.
Two men with black robes.
One of them is two-star, and the other one is three.
/CRACKLE/ /CRACKLE/
"Careful of lightning bolts, he is sending. This guy is good."
"Okay."
/SWOOSH/ /CLANK/
Without wasting any more time, I dashed towards the two-star one. Albeit, my attack got blocked at the last second.
"Got you."
/BOOSH/
\'Fire behind.\'
\'Sword of Lightning, Current Flow.\'
/CRACKLE/
With lightning mana imbued to my legs, I disappeared from the place I was standing.
\'It still hurts. I need to practice more.\'
/BOOM/
And the fire coming from my behind hit the one I attacked because of my absence.
"What? How?"
<Trait [Duelist] activated.>
Feeling the strength rising again, I aligned my sword vertically.
\'Sword of Lightning, Trick of Light.\'
And with a fast speed, I reached the man in front of me.
/STAB/ /SPLURT/
Just as the same before.
Raising his sword to block the attack, \'he saw,\' he was wide open in other areas.
With my sword reaching his heart, I stabbed him, finishing his life.
\'They are gathering in the square. Will they leave?\'
\'No. They are here for something; what is it?\'
Tracing the dark mana around, I saw it was intensified in the middle of the square.
\'Something is coming.\'
Concluding that, I started running while looking for other cannon fodders.
\'Another two-star. His guard is down.\'
/SWOOSH/ /SLASH/
With a slash, I severed his body into the two, killing him.
\'This is the sixth one.\'
/ROAAAAAAR/ /CRASH/
But before I could move any further, I got blasted off by a loud roar.
"Cough, cough...."
/TING/
The same sound of my ears ringing.
The same feeling of my head spinning.
The feeling of wanting to puke right away.
Enduring those feelings, I stood up and looked at the source of the roar.
\'What? Is this a dragon?\'
Only to see a dragon standing there.
